Detailed Description

RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader is a specialization class of RWHttpAuthorizationHeaderBase. It is a helper class that formats and encodes its contents as Authorization: basic header_value, where header_value is the username and password used for basic authentication.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader::RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader ( )

inline

Constructs a default RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader object with the label Authorization and the username and password set to empty strings.

RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader::RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader ( const RWCString &  username, const RWCString &  password, bool  padding = false  )

inline

Constructs a RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader object with the label Authorization, a username of username, and a password of password.

RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader::RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader

(

const RWHttpGenericHeader &

hdr

)

Constructs an RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader object from an RWHttpGenericHeader representing a basic Authorization HTTP header. If the RWHttpGenericHeader does not represent a basic Authorization HTTP header or if the value of the RWHttpGenericHeader does not conform to the formatting of a basic Authorization value, an RWHttpHeaderParseError exception is thrown.

Member Function Documentation

static RWCString RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader::decodeString ( const RWCString &  str )

staticprotected

Returns a RWCString representing the plain text version of the base64 encoded string str. The RWCString should contain 7-bit US-ASCII data.

static RWCString RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader::encodeString ( const RWCString &  str, bool  padding  )

staticprotected

Returns a RWCString representing the base64 encoded version of str. The RWCString should contain 7-bit US-ASCII data.

RWCString RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader::getPassword ( void  ) const

inline

Returns the internal value of password as a RWCString.

RWCString RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader::getUsername ( void  ) const

inline

Returns the internal value of username as a RWCString.

virtual RWCString RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader::getValue ( ) const

virtual

Returns a RWCString consisting of the word Basic followed by a base64 encoded string representing username:password.

Implements RWHttpHeaderBase.

void RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader::setPassword ( const RWCString &  password )

inline

Assigns password to the internal password.

void RWHttpBasicAuthorizationHeader::setUsername ( const RWCString &  username )

inline

Assigns username to the internal username.
